You have to add the virtual/x11-7.0 in your local portage overlay.
You can find a howto on the gentoo-wiki site that explains how it is done.
After this, everything works fine

[solution]
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage
echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf

Then you need to create the proper dir for x11 virtual and copy paste 6.8
version...

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/virtual/x11
cp /usr/portage/virtual/x11/x11-6.8.ebuild
/usr/local/portage/virtual/x11/x11-7.0.ebuild
nano -w x11-7.0.ebuild # Change the version of xorg-x11 in RDEPEND line
ebuild x11-7.0.ebuild digest

[/solution]

This is not a proper fix at all and I would not suggest it I know deps have to
be straightened out and will work on them tonight when I get in from work.
